He said Roach and Pacquiao want an impressive outing against Marquez, especially after the Filipino’s lackluster performances in his recent fights.

He added that Pacquiao also wanted to put to rest all doubts of his victories over Marquez.

“Both coach Freddie kasi and Manny want to win impressively and bring to a close the many questions that surrounded his previous three fights with Marquez, kailangan naka-focus lahat sa preparasyon at walang kahit anong distraction,” said Somodio.

Roach earlier said he wanted nothing less than a knockout from Pacquiao when the Filipino slugs it out against Marquez.

“To be the pound-for-pound the best fighter in the world, I think we need to knock this guy out,” Roach said in an interview with Boxing Scene. “I need to get Manny that killer instinct back.”
